hi gentlemen,

i hope you dont mind my posting ?
look down. a little voice coming from a little knowledge..sorry.. you re so high for me..

i saw these pictures and was amazed....

ok i know the quartz properties on 3 axis, due to my earlier electronics school..

but some questions if you please...

- if sparks come from impacts, why no spark on tail rotor ?

- did you try to take a piece of blade and sandblast it with a fine
silicium powder?

- can this only be due to tribolumin. ?
Because WintOGreen Lifesavers are naturally fluorescent, now step two can take place. The "lightning bolts" give off invisible ultraviolet light you must have good eyes gentlemen to see that

- arent the blach hawk blades made of composites with a titanium leading edge of somthing like that ? do you think the friction with air could ionize the surface then it could produce a discharge, BTW the sea air has alot of Iode and salt, great for electricity.. not talking about plasma.. but isnt there a marine phenomena apearing on vintage boats on it's metal parts called "st elme' fire" the ancients mariners took for chance sign because the came after tempests?

- was this effect searched in a clean room and dry air

excuse my poor arguments and questions gentlemen... i just cant believe sand strikes can do this...

thank you
